Highland Retreat is the Scottish Highlands in winter: wool and firelight. Composed by Julie Dunkley at Sozio, hand-poured in England from 100% natural soy wax, and held in a porcelain vessel illustrated by Kerry Lemon.

A warm, smoky amber that opens with bright citrus, cognac and woodsmoke. At its heart, smoked cinnamon, clove and leather turn rich and enveloping. The base is deep and lasting: patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, moss, vanilla and amber, the warmth of a fire in a stone-walled room.

Sustainability

The 80g candle is small but built to the same standard, hand-poured in England in natural soy wax and held in the same fine porcelain. It is not part of the refill range, but the porcelain is yours to keep and repurpose once the candle is finished, a small vessel rather than something to throw away. The packaging is plastic-free and FSC-certified.
